Hi Mike,
Using your code
...
if (bigHigh[bar]) {
lookingForHigh = false; // now looking for low
PlotText("HH" + highs, bar, High[bar], colorGreen);
highs++;
}
...
Do you see anything wrong with using the value of highs after the loop
as the last swing high and (highs -1) as the second to last swing high and
(highs -2) as the third last swing high and doing the same with lows?
Also, is it feasible to use BarsSince(low)?
